your camera battery than any other function on the camera. Every time

are somewhere that has an outlet, charge the batteries. Even a 15 minute
charge can give you another hour or so of picture taking. It only takes
a normal camera 1.5 hours to fully charge so 15 or 20 minutes can
charge a battery by almost 25%.
